I sent this to you but I believe others might benefit...
About your wife, I don’t know how you speak to her but since you’ve noticed this about her... if you could take extra care about how you speak with her.
I don’t know if you can picture this but any kind of negative talk like, “What is this?” “Why did you do that?” “You could’ve done ...” I know these are valid questions but to someone who is a defeatist, what is said to them snowballs exponentially in their mind and before you know it, they’re already in a bad mood b/c they’ve reamed themselves out about 20 different things and it’s not even lunch time yet!
When you tell her that you love her, in her mind she could possibly be saying, “Yeah right, I don’t know how you could love me.”
This is the enemy pure and simple brother attacking the very essence of your home – the homemaker.
God bless you,
